Green was checking a robbery suspect, Lawrence Wallace Jr., into Mobile County Metro Jail on Friday afternoon when Wallace somehow stabbed Green and stole his car.

Green was taken to the University of South Alabama Medical Center, where he later died. He is survived by his wife and three children.

Wallace led police on a chase down Dauphin Island Parkway, shooting another officer, Mark Johnson, along the way. Johnson was treated and released at the medical center, leaving with stitches on his arm, according to officials.

Wallace eventually holed up at a house on Daytona Drive where he had a two-hour-long standoff with police. They traded gunfire with Wallace and launched canisters of tear gas in an effort to drive him out of hiding. One of the officers shot Wallace, and he died at the scene.

The Facebook page was set up Friday night. It's not clear who did it. But it has received comments from people as far away as England and Canada, thanking Green for his sacrifice and offering condolences to his family. Here are a few of hundreds of comments:
